U.S. Advocate Hints At "Separate Peace"

Canberra, Sept. 1.

The Canberra Conference of British Empire Ministers today wound up its secret discus- sions on the Japanese peace treaty.

An official statement issued at the close of the meeting said the general attitude of the delegates was that "the conference has been extremely successful."
